BKBM Attorney Marilyn Kapaun Wins Father Sole Custody

By June 30, 2025 News/Events/Seminars

After a two-year long custody battle, Attorney Marilyn Kapaun in BKBM Family Law secured “Sole” Custody for her client, the Father, of his two-year old boy. The parents to this child were never married, and the Father worried about his legal rights. Attorney Kapaun’s first step was for the Father to legitimate the child, and nothing made her happier than her client asking for a photo with her on the day his child was legitimated in a Court Order. Working with Partner Erin Stone, the firm’s next steps were to fight for this Father’s parenting time given a delicate situation with a Guardianship and Mother’s mental and physical health issues. In the end, Attorney Kapaun secured “Sole” custody for this Father, a rare designation in custody at all, let alone for fathers. This father later wrote: “In a complicated custody case, this outcome has exceeded all of my expectations. Marilyn was the most responsive and attentive lawyer I have ever had. I truly felt over the past two years of my case that her and her office staff always handled my case as a priority. I would highly recommend Marilyn. She’s like part of the family now!”
